Desorden Público is a veteran ska band hailing from Caracas, Venezuela, renowned for their fusion of Latin rhythms, ska, and reggae. The band was formed in 1985 by Horacio Blanco (vocals/guitar), José Luis "Caplís" Chacín (bass), and Danel Sarmiento (drums), and they have since become one of the most influential and enduring ska bands in Latin America. Known for their energetic live performances and politically charged lyrics, Desorden Público's music often touches on social and political issues, reflecting the struggles and tensions of contemporary Venezuelan society.

Their career spans over three decades, marked by a significant discography that showcases their ability to adapt and evolve while maintaining the core elements of their sound. Desorden Público has seen both national and international success, with numerous tours that have taken them across Latin America, the United States, and Europe. Their most recent releases highlight their wide-ranging musical influences and their respect for their roots, as shown in their homages to the cumbia master Pastor López. Still very much active in the music scene, Desorden Público continues to produce music that resonates with fans old and new, cementing their place as a legendary act in the genre of Latin ska.
